Ted Cruz's Reaction to Friday's SCOTUS Decisions

Not that I am Cruz fan but what did he say against any one particular race or races? Not seeing it.

'Cause that is the left's go-to for everything.

right...that's the "go to"....where would the left get any of these silly, nonsense ideas?....in your mind absolutely nowhere, because there is no
more racism acccording to supreme court chief justice Roberts...it's all over.....so the left is just blowin' smoke right?....and of course, the
people to ask about that, are "white men".....because they know racism when they see it

because the only racism is against black people? How ignorant is that statement........

If a Seattle Seahawk fan says, 'The day we lost the Superbowl to the Patriots was the darkest day in team history', who am I to tell them it was worse
when they lost to the Steelers?

That is their perception.

Yes but when Ted Cruz, a sitting US Senator and presidential candidate, says that the SCOTUS ruling in favor of protecting basic rights for gays and
lesbians is the darkest day in American history, it begs the question, what sort of perception is behind that sentiment?

I assume that Cruz was, like most politicians do most of the time, simply saying what he thinks the voters he's attempting to connect with wanted to
hear. If that's the case, I'd say his comments come from his perception that as a whole, modern American conservatives reward intolerance of among
other things, homosexuality.

If Ted Cruz thinks that conservatives respond positively to bigotry, who am I to disagree?

They saw the light. They're reformed bigots. They used to be bigots, and it was okay when they were. Hell, Hillary is what, 8 months down the road to
bigot recovery? I feel like she was against gay marriage as recently as last year but I may be mistaken.

It's a 12 step program. Meets every other Wednesday at the YMCA. Bigots Anonymous.

because the only racism is against black people? How ignorant is that statement........

But hey they banned the Confederate flag, sure glad racisms over!

Who said that there isn't racism against people other than blacks? Big fan of arguing against straw men? I think the point that you've missed is that
out of the 239 years we've been a nation, for 80% of that time, the overwhelming majority of black people were either slaves or living under
overt, legally sanctioned oppression, disenfranchised and denied basic civil rights.

How many years has racism against white people resulted in or been a integral part of a similar state of affairs for us? Oh none? So if racism against
white people has had little to no impact on white people — EVER — how are these two issues of comparable severity? All bigotry is bad but lets not
pretend that it's negative consequence are equally experienced by all.

Ask an Irishman or Italian, or any number of other white immigrants in the early days.......to find out just how bad racism against white people can
be

Or people in Africa.........

Where is the demands for "reparations" from them?

They got over it and matured enough to know it's BS to use it as a political tool for politicians who could give a damn, but yet make those dumb
enough to believe they do?

Just because you are for traditional marriage does not make you a bigot.

If you disagree with me, then you're obviously a racist.

I'm a proponent of shredded chicken tacos, if Taco Bell stopped serving them tomorrow, I wouldn't characterize it as the darkest day in American
history. It wouldn't be worse than say April 11, 1861, September 8, 1900, December 7, 1941, September 11, 2001 or October 26, 2001.

Hillary and Obama typify the neoliberal (and hence right wing) nature of the majority of politicians in the American "left." I'm not surprised that
they're lagging behind. The only thing I can say is at least they're smart enough to flip-flop now instead of doubling down on stupid!

Do you feel slighted by supporting Obama?

Sour grapes?

It's okay to be used, but being adult enough admit you were used and wrong is all part of growing up and becoming wise in a twisted world of
lies......

CRUZ: Sean, how are you doing? Today is some of the darkest 24 hours in our nation's history.

HANNITY: I couldn't say it more eloquently. I loved your comments yesterday.

...

CRUZ: The other check that the framers put to judicial tyranny was the power of impeachment. Under the Constitution, judges and justices serve during
good behavior. By no measure is this good behavior. But here is the sad reality, a Senate that is willing to confirm Loretta Lynch, an attorney
general who told the Senate she won't follow the law and won't follow the Constitution, there's no universe in which this United States Senate, with
this leadership, would be willing to marshal 67 votes to impeach Justice Kennedy.

HANNITY: I think you can add [Chief Justice] John Roberts to the list, myself. But that's my own personal opinion. He's the one that promised to call
balls and strikes isn't he?

What's even better comedy is a liberal pops in, immediately dismisses the left wing bashing (ie calling them racists) of conservatives as "weak" and
spins it into more "conservatives are terrible" propaganda.

I hope you all can see that Ted Cruz is actually just doing marketing for his presidential campaign, he wants to stand out against other republican
presidential candidates and the newly invented premise that they are 'lessening' their commitments to 'conservatives values'.

If the latest American never ending whine and moaning fest was about permitting frogs to live their life purple and not green, he would use "they must
stay green" as his platform.

His platform is "how many of you are frustrated with republican leaders, here I am the stand out UBER conservative to them"
